FEDORA-EPEL-2017-7c22614b28
2017-05-01 18:12:18.216027
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : collectd
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 4.10.9
Release : 4.el6
URL : http://collectd.org/
Summary : Statistics collection daemon for filling RRD files
Description :
collectd is a small daemon written in C for performance. It reads various
system statistics and updates RRD files, creating them if necessary.
Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the
files it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very
fine grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds.

Update Information:
Fix CVE-2017-7401 collectd: Infinite loop due to incorrect interaction of
parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions. This is a bug in the
network plugin.
